OLD SHILOH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CEMETERY

Shiloh Cemetery on the present farm of Hon.  O. M. Mull, No. 4 Township,
Cleveland County, N.C., ¾ mile east of Grover, N.C.  Hon.  P. Cleveland
Gardner says that according to a publication entitled, "Carolina
Churches," Vol. 1, page 2, edited by Rev.  H. L. Reaves, Presbyterian
Minister, Grover, N.C., dated April 1938, Shiloh Presbyterian Church was
organized in 1780, called Calvary.  How, in his history, page 522, gives
a sketch of this church.  After construction of the Southern Ry., and
the establishment of the town site of Whitaker (now Grover), the site of
the old Shiloh Church was sold to a Negro congregation which still
retains the site and the name Shiloh, and a new site was purchased in
the town of Whitaker, now Grover.  This new church was dedicated Aug.
15, 1884.  The State Line of N.C. and S.C. mark the southern boundary of
this ancient cemetery where sleeps a number of heroes of the
Revolutionary War and many pioneers of Cleveland County, N.C.
